Вы можете использовать оснастку «Управление дисками» для подключения диска (предоставления доступа к нему) в папке, а не путем назначения ему буквы диска. You can use Disk Management to mount (make a drive accessible) in a folder rather than a drive letter if you want. В таком случае диск будет отображаться как обычная папка. This makes the drive appear as just another folder. Диски можно подключать только в пустых папках в базовых или динамических томах NTFS. You can mount drives only in empty folders on basic or dynamic NTFS volumes.

Moving a Steam Installation and Games

How do I change the default installation path for my games?

Games are installed to the following folder by default:

C:\Program Files\Steam (x86)\SteamApps\Common

You can create an alternate location on any drive, which you can choose in the future when installing games.

1. Navigate to your Steam client ‘Settings’ menu.
2. Select ‘Steam Library Folders’ from the ‘Downloads’ tab.

How do I move my existing Steam Installation?

Important:

Please ensure that you have your Steam login name and password before following this procedure. Also ensure that your account is linked to your current email address, so that you can reset your password if necessary.

It is not recommended that you install Steam to an external hard drive, due to potential performance issues.

Warning:

It is highly recommended that you create a backup of your SteamApps folder before attempting this process. If there is a problem in this process and you do not have a backup of your games or the SteamApps folder, it will be necessary to reinstall the games individually. Please see the Using the Steam Backup Feature topic.

The following instructions are a simple way to move your Steam installation along with your games:

1. Exit the Steam client application.
2. Browse to the Steam installation folder for the Steam installation you would like to move (C:\Program Files\Steam by default).
3. Delete all of the files and folders except the SteamApps & Userdata folders and Steam.exe
4. Cut and paste the whole Steam folder to the new location, for example: D:\Games\Steam\
5. Launch Steam and log into your account.

Steam will briefly update and then you will be logged into your account. For installed games, verify your game cache files and you will be ready to play. All future game content will be downloaded to the new folder (D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\ in this example)

If you encounter any errors during the move process or when Steam is launched from the new location, it may be necessary to perform a more thorough process:

1. Exit the Steam client application.
2. Browse to the Steam installation folder for the Steam installation (continuing the from the last section example, this would be the new location of D:\Games\Steam\.
3. Move the SteamApps folder from the Steam installation folder to your desktop.
4. Review the Uninstalling Steam topic for instructions to uninstall Steam (this must be done to remove your old Steam installation settings from the Windows Registry).
5. Review the Installing Steam topic for instructions to re-install Steam to the desired location.
6. Move the SteamApps folder into the new Steam installation folder to copy all of your downloaded game content, settings, and saved games to the new location.
7. Start Steam and log in to your existing Steam account to confirm that the move was successful.
8. For installed games, verify your game cache files and you will be ready to play.

Note about Save Games

If you are moving your Steam installation to a new hard drive and want to keep game saves/profiles for third party games that are not saved on Steam Cloud most of these can be found in your Documents folder:

\Documents\[username]\My Games\. Moving this folder to the same location on your new hard drive will maintain your saves/profiles.

Changing the default installation folder for programs in Windows 10 — safely

Having recently installed Windows 10 after my incredible XP Pro server died suddenly, I have immediately managed to break it by changing the default installation folder for programs through Regedit.

I did this following input I found online; when, I must admit, I entirely ignored the warning that currently installed programs may no longer work. That turned out to very true. Win10 loaded alright, but many actions produced no result whatever, not even an error message. Could not repair it either, and eventually I had to resort to a Linux-based tool (PMagic, if you must know — very cool stuff).

The solution suggested in the initial input was to move all currently installed files and folders to the new location.

I have been a believer in multiple partitions and physical disk drives for a very long time (and I always have several). I do not subscribe to the Microsoft approach, which puts everything into the C:\ installation partition — unless you tell it otherwise.

Unfortunately, some programs will not prompt for an installation path of choice. Thus my efforts in the Registry.

And this, therefor, is what I put to the community:

1. Is there an official, Microsoft approved method of changing the default installation path for all user installed programs?
2. If not, would it indeed be safe to change all relevant keys referring to ProgramFilsDir in the Registry and then simply and at the same time also move all material from the C:\Programs folder into a partition on another drive (entering the target location, in my case simply F:\ into the registry keys?
3. Having thought about this for some time, I wonder: would it in fact work if I simply substituted (ie put into C:\ a shortcut named Programs, and have the shortcut point to my preferred location of F:\

And if you need to know: F: stands for Foftware, since S: I use for Source of programs. But funny bits aside, I am serious about my intentions and would really appreciate some knowledgeable input.

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

To change the default installation path, just follow below steps:

1. Press Windows key + R and type gpedit.msc

1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion.

2. At the right panel, look for ProgramFilesDir.

3. Double click on it to change the value to your desired path. For example, change the value from C:\Program Files to D:\Softwares.

To do so: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

No.

If not, would it indeed be safe to change all relevant keys etc. etc.

Only if you want to trash your install.

See above answer.

You seem intent on making the operating system work in a way it was never designed to work. You must have the coolest automobile, but I wouldn’t want to drive it.

Thank you for your input, all parts of which are fair enough. And, yes, maybe I am intent on that, but just maybe the OS could offer more options. And I do drive the coolest car.

But seriously, I am thinking that there is speed to be gained by having the OS on one drive; and have it load programs from another. And this is the basis for my efforts; which I will now abort anyway.

Thank you for responding. I will need to think about doing it again this way (if at all). I had followed this lead: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/modify-windows-default-program-install-directory/ which referrs to two keys and adds detail for 64-bit systems — which mine is.

I boldly changed all and stuffed it up big time as I said in my post.

If I follow your lead precisely, can I assume that the Windows programs continue to work, while having my installs go to the new path? In my earlier efforts I could not even open the registry editor anymore; so could not fix the issue. And attempting to Repair from the installation medium also failed.

Given the speed of today’s hardware, I don’t think it would make any difference performance-wise if you tried to install applications on a different partition.

No matter where you install them, applications write to the registry, which is always located on the system partition. Applications also install files onto the system partition and reference libraries on the system partition. Applications and the OS are deeply linked so it makes no sense to separate them. It’s like making newlyweds sleep on separate beds.

If you want to separate your data from your software, that’s a fabulous idea. Windows makes it easy to do that. And it makes sense, because if you need to restore a backup of your OS why send your personal folders back in time, and vice versa?

I have similar questions. Not sure how to get around it yet.

As part of justification for 3 partition setup.

Microsoft has been notorious for having its own updates, or other softwares and their updates, mess up many times.

Also, some executables turn out to be viruses, bcs MS is so inept at making and keeping a secure OS, as they have even given up on MS essentials and really want people to go get other companies’ antivirus.

jBut the main thing is running C drive on an SSD, esp if only 64gb which used to be plenty big but now is too small, and soon enough even 128 gb will be too small bcs of all the MS bloat!

So having just the OS on the ssd, and then putting your added programs on a spinning hard drive partition and your data drive on another spinning hard drive partition, is the MAIN reason that people need this setup!

On win xp and win 7, i have always run 3 partitions, and using the junctions and rededit minor changes for drive letters.

My config is C, E, G — C for win os of course, E for executables, and G for garage (ie, personal data, stuffed like everyone’s house garages with all my stuff, my keepsakes, etc.

As an additional benefit, my disk drive i always make D (like, duh!), and then my sd slot and photo card I relettered to F for Fotos.

Thus, i have a c,d,e,f,g that covers all my computer needs. and then use 2 tb external hard drives M for multimedia (music, pics), and another for N for nickelodeon (ie my movies/films/vids). If I get to the point of needing a pix only xhd, then of course P will come in handy.

In any case, when Windows messes up and have to do reinstall at some point. then I only have to reinstall first the os on C, and leave E and G alone.

I’ll have to reinstall programs from E, but the point is that all the exe and setup files are there on my E, and preserved, so i just start dblclicking their file names to get them reinstalled.

I dont have to remember what programs I had, or what I might have lost (ie some software like DVD shrink or mgi photosuite for win 7 no longer seem to exist and impossible to re-obtain).

The fact that I like to redirect my Program Files and Program Files (x86) to my E drive is also to help protect all 3. if something nasty gets in (which it hasnt sincce Ive been careful), I believe it less likely that it will run amok my whole system. at least it would have a much smaller play area, ie only the E drive, where it might do stuff.

BUT the main reason is bcs of using an SSD for the C os drive!

In any case, the drive letters should NOT matter to microsoft.

Particularly since it has always worked on their systems, and there are innumerable posts and websites of how to do these steps in XP and 7 bcs some people just want to.

It is my computer and *I* should have some say in where things go, as I have an entire system, as many others do, so that I can find my stuff, and protect myself.

It just gets irritating that microsoft, who can’t ever manage to put out any product without bugs, fixes, or new breakings of other things.

thinks that it knows better than me about what i want.
